The forecast was for thunderstorms all day so I pulled up a radar screen on the internet. This is the radar screen of the storm we had in El Reno and an example of the radar screen I followed as we drove.
We left Joplin at 8:00 am about 1/2 hour ahead of when the storm was to hit. Since I was able to be online while we were driving, I followed the radar screen while Barbara followed the road. We did run into a few light rains, but since we stayed about 1/2 hour ahead of storms , we just kept driving and arrived to the St. Charles rv park by 2:00 pm.
And then a great surprise.... we got a phone call from friends Pearl and Cheryl, who were heading home to the east coast. They were just outside of St. Louis and wanted to meet up with us. They arrived about 4:00 pm, we had drinks and treats here and then went out to dinner.
Today, if the rain will stop, we go into the City to the arch, the new cathedral, Forest Park, etc. and then this evening we will go to wine country.
We are so pleased to see them and visit with them. And Bailey was so excited to see his friends, Blanche and Lucy.
Love and hugs to all of you,
Linda and Barb and Bailey, too.

We're glad you made it back to St. Louis safe and sound, if chilly!
Your photos and comments are, as always, fun. Especially the bits about the casino parking. We'll be using some of your suggestions as we head your way in late May.
